It’s impossible to know who or what is behind the constant flow of disinformation on electric transportation, e.g., the graphic at left. Big Oil? QAnon? Other right-wing, anti-environmentalist groups?
In any case, I have a friend who’s been telling me since were teenagers 50 years ago, that EVs only move the source of the emissions from the vehicle to the power plant. Of course, he also told me, “When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.” Yes, he’s given to the types of slogans one encounters on Fox News and the like.
In truth, the phasing out of fossil fuels in our energy and transportation sectors is a boon to our environment, and our efforts to mitigate climate change in particular. This has been shown in hundreds of peer-reviewed studies spanning several decades. Here’s a piece from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency debunking myths on the subject.
We have hundreds of convicted criminals on the streets due to Trump’s pardons. We have a quagmire in Iran due to Trump’s pointless and illegal war. The United States is viewed internationally with a blend of pity, contempt, and ridicule.
These were some dark days in U.S. history, but they seem bright and shiny in comparison to today.
Nixon didn’t storm the Capitol in an attempt to overthrow the government, nor did he hand out pardons for cash.

John Eastman, One of Trump’s Attorney Henchmen in an Attempt to Overthrow the U.S. Government, Is Disbarred
In April of this year, the California Supreme Court disbarred attorney John Charles Eastman. This after the State Bar Court Review Department in July 2025 affirmed the findings of the State Bar Court Hearing Department’s March 2024 recommendation, which found Eastman culpable of 10 out of 11 charges for egregious and deceitful conduct and recommended his disbarment.
Apparently, certain bodies within the United States are still trying to maintain justice here in America.
